Edited to add: but it seems like your goal here is to make me not trust you, and to think that you are a liar.
No, my goal is trying to understand how you determine what is true of life and also what is true of reality. Let me know if this is getting too long winded and I'll try to close off my questions quickly...I'm new to this so my line of questioning might not be very succinct (apologies in advance).
Can you elaborate on the "anything" part of evidence? Are feelings counted as evidence? Or if I made a sound logical argument, would that also be evidence?
Because of the format, you may want to ask more than one question at a time, if it doesn't mess up the flow of your presentation.
You ask good questions; feelings, I waver on. I think that they can be evidence, but as support only and in addition to other evidence. A logical argument, or reason, I could see where it could technically be counted as evidence, but I would normally separate them, with evidence being a part of ones reasons.
